Creepy crawlies
Love the sand sculptures, very similar to those on Weymouth beach, but probably larger & more of them. They look like something off a Disney film title. Fancy being related to Nelson-does that mean we have to salute every time we see you now? Many happy returns for your birthdays, we will have a drink to celebrate (any excuse). Keep well & enjoying your adventures. x

Snake
You weren't joking about the snake, looks pretty scary & definitely dangerous!! Would rather have the sleepy looking koala bear, I too could sleep for huge amounts of time lying in the sun bring on retirement ...............

Queensland
Sorry to hear you couldn't make it, I know you were looking forward to that part of the trip. John heard from Reece to say it wasn't the sharks swimming in the floodwater in the streets that was a problem - it was the midges! There is not enough money in the world to get me in that Skyway!!!! It looks very scary! Enjoy your next adventure x

Flooding and this and that
Happy new year to you both. Still green with envy with where you are and the lovely weather. Just think you could have 2 summers when you come back here in July! The dolphins are gorgeous. Does the flooding in Queensland mean you'll have to change your Australia plans? It looks quite extensive on news reports and is said to cover an area the size of France and Germany. Massive. At least no-one seems to have been hurt. We have all suffered deadly colds (not flu) so post xmas/new year was rather quiet. Especially since a 23 year old friend of Jo's died on 29th from probable flu complications. My PC also caught a deadly virus and I've lost many email addresses including your BT one. Also your blogs which I'd saved in a separate folder. So please send me your address again. Have fun. Love and best wishes Tim and Jacky

You are turning into Indiana Jones with your adventures. Having conquered your fears regarding heights you are clearly out to accept any challenge nature or need throw at you! Am very impressed that you went in the helicopter-not something I would be comfortable with!! Keep sampling the alcohol! Either you will get to feel it's right up your street or you will rid them of their problem & then you can teach them the "British" way to make it!! Standards have to be kept up! Take care & keep it coming x

merry Christmas
Hi you guys, a little bit cooler in the good old GB, have a fantastic Christmas we will be thinking of you, lots of love and big kisses from Jack, Sean and Rachel

Merry Christmas
Just sending you our best wishes for a Happy Christmas in Christchurch. Really enjoying the blogs, and you must be having a wonderful time, mind you I'd be with Sheila on the helicopter - stomach churning, and eyes shut, but it sounds too amazing to miss! Weren't you lucky that day to get a flight? The photos are really good, and I also thought on the last lot that Paul is a Bill Oddie lookalike! Dave hasn't managed to get to any more Norwich matches due to weather/ health. Jo and Andy should be here Christmas afternoon, but it's looking doubtful. Have a lovely time. Love Sheila and Dave. xxxxx

Happy Christmas
Hi Guys Your blog makes interesting reading and your pictures are really lovely. I expect you have heard we have been enjoying some very cold weather and lots of snow. They forecast it again for this week so winter woollens at the ready. Went to Chester last week-end to a carol concert and stayed overnight. The journey was pretty eventful as although the main roads were clear side roads were not. Still had a great time and the choir was lovely. Now in the run up to Christmas so everywhere is busy busy. Just wanted to say have a lovely Christmas whatever you do and enjoy. Take care of each other. Lots of Love Kit & Roger xxx

Swing Bridges
Well done Sheila I am really impressed you have been getting across these bridges, bet you are glad you did the one at Tintagel to get in some practice. Love the traffic jam picture, would make getting to work more interesting in Winchester if it was sheep blocking St Georges Street instead of delivery vans.

Foodies
You two are going to be soooo bored when you come home!! Love all the descriptions of the scenery & your take on the culture etc. Try not to drink the island dry! Love from us both xxx
